"Emotional and entertaining, Chiasson takes readers on a deep exploration of the inner workings of a unique cast of characters, all set in Vancouver."
—Aleesha Harris, The Vancouver Sun
"A beautifully shaped novel with gentle notes of human frailty and sadness that evokes compassion."
—The Miramichi Reader
"An engrossing novel! I had to read the compelling last chapters while standing/lurching inside a cramped 99 B-Line bus during rush hour. I loved how the book describes the internal and external musical experiences of the main character."
—Fiona Tinwei Lam, author of Odes & Laments, Enter the Chrysanthemum, Double Lives
